Abstract
The single crystal of bi (8-hydroxyquinoline) bihydrated cobalt(II) complex, [Co(Q)2(H2O)2] (Q = 8-hydroxyquinoline ion), has been synthesized by general method and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data: C18H16CoN2O4, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 1.336 2(4) nm, b = 0.941 2(3) nm, c = 1.354 3(4) nm, β = 109.672(4)°, Z = 4. In the complex, Co(II) ion is six-coordinated, forming a distorted octahedron. H-bonding and π-π stacking interaction play a significant role to form and stabilize the three-dimensional structure.
